You didn't say the breaker was poping so amps is totally irrelavent. Are you getting close to 120 volts between L1 and N and between L2 and N under load. If so the problem is in the RV.....end of story.
Not end of story. Amps has everything to do with it along with voltage, you need both. Power = Voltage x Amps
I hate to get involved in these discussions, because most of my electrical experience is in aircraft (115VAC, 400 cycle or 28VDC at up to 800 amps), but I think the point that was being made is that the 50 amp breaker did not pop, so the circuit was not overloaded. Therefore, if the VAC at the plug was 110-120VAC under load, there was Probably no problem with the circuitry to the plug, the problem was more than likely in the RV.
For those who are talking about "twist lock" plugs, I have never seen a "twist lock" on an RV. What trailers or coaches have them? Where can they be plugged in? EVERY RV pedestal I have ever seen has straight plugs for 50, 30, 20, and 15 amp connectors (20 and 15 are the same socket).
